We had to immediately install 27 Lally columns in one multi-family.I found wires spiced from a basement light, completely burned and melted going to an apartment!

If the house was converted without adding noise dampening features, then you may want to consider doing so.Some of what is going on may be the combination of a light sleeper and an average family with children. 

It is a applicants responsibility to present themselves in the best light not for me to waste time having to search through their life.

You don't have to do much - just clear ALL clutter out of the room, add a bed (if not there already) and make the bed look nice (just a few pillows and a blanket neatly folded or spread on top) and open the windows for good lighting.

For this particular duplex, both apartments are in  good/ modern shape, fresh paint, nice flooring,stainless appliances, and some little extras (lighting or tile). 

@Robert Fountain,dated and dated, clean and new paint smell are 2 different things...i would check all competition for 0.5-1 mile radius then check all features for houses sold in the same radius.you will then know:-paint color/combination to use (neutral beige or the ever popular graige/grayish tones)-appliances common or not/expected or not (all matchy matchy)-houses features/commonalitychange counter tops and fixturesclean/rejuvenate the cabinetscheck like crazy the mechanicals: those are the #2 money eating (#1 is bad tenant or vacant property)some here on BP have removed carpet completely and refinished wood under/switched to vinyl click wood like planksgood luck

Projects like this one:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/432/topics/753858-brrr-actual-deal-2m-profit-or-15k-mo-cashflow-with-picturesBut given where we are in the Cincinnati market lately, most of our projects are easy or light value-adds - blacktop the driveway and update the interior finishes - and we can command a $300 a month increase in rents.

They come in a variety of colors and sizes with a nice texture. 

I used a light colored Behr exterior latex paint.

@Joe Stout I am in the camp of going there and doing it yourself to get a feel for the house and spend a few nights in it so you learn where things are by memory for when a guest calls and you can guide them what is where and how it works..even simple things like light switches (label them).
